The Young Professionals of Obion County had their 1st Annual tacky Christmas sweater party on December 18th. Hops & Barley donated the space and provided appetizers! Over $50 in gift cards and prizes were given away and members had a great time. We had a great turnout of first timers and look forward to our next event!

As the new year begins, we would like to personally invite all men and women in Obion County ages 21-35 to our January meeting. It will be held at the Obion County Public Library at 6:00 PM on Thursday, January 25th. This month we are focusing on Professional Development and will have a Certified Financial Planer speak to us about financial tips and tricks for our generation. We look forward to seeing you there!

Where do you work?I currently work part-time at the Obion County Chamber of Commerce as I have recently concluded my graduate education program.

What do you like about your job? I love working for the Chamber because I have been able to learn so much about how a community is sustained and how businesses are recruited and retained. I also love helping put on networking events and attending ribbon cuttings and open houses. Those are such a unique experience because you get to see first hand the success of your local businesses.
